Women and Civil Society: Capacity Building in Yemen
This work is the result of fruitful collaboration between the department of cooperation in the French Embassy in Sana'a and CEFAS (French CEnter for Archeology and Social Sciences in Sanna). It aims to present a joint reflection on experiences in gender and development projects, and to join in the debate they foster not only in Yemen, but on a much wider scale as well, beyond cultural and contextual particularities. This initiative connects with practical and critical research concerned with the transnational promotion of civil society, participation, empowerment and capacity building through various development and assistance schemes. It is divided up into two parts: firstly, a contribution by Blandine Destremau, aiming to provide a sense of perspective to the patterns of development implemented and experimented in Yemen, by sketching a critical history of ideas and institutions dealing with issues of gender and development. Secondly, an impact assessment carried out in the field by Maggy Grabundzija, an anthropologist, focusing on two projects funded by the French Social Development Fund, chosen for their engagement in girls' education in rural areas.
Migrations - Une chance pour le système de santé ?
Selon l'ONU, environ 15 % de l'humanité va migrer au XXIe siècle, soit près d'un milliard de personnes. On estime ainsi que, depuis 20 ans, près de 180 millions d'humains ont quitté leur territoire de naissance ou de vie. Mais contrairement aux idées reçues, un très faible pourcentage de ces migrants rejoint les pays occidentaux. Les personnes qui arrivent en France peuvent parfois cumuler des fragilités médicales, sociales et psychiques. Ainsi, la question de leur prise en charge médicale constitue-t-elle un élément majeur dès leur arrivée. Mais dans un contexte où le système de santé est lui-même en crise, essayer d'y répondre, c'est s'interroger plus globalement sur l'...

Unity and Diversity in Development Ideas
This second volume from the United Nations Intellectual History Project surveys the history of the UN's regional commissions and the ideas they have developed over the last 40 years. Each essay is devoted to one of the five regional commissions—Europe, Asia and the Far East, Latin America, Africa, and Western Asia—and how it has approached its mission of assessing the condition of regional economies and making prognoses about future conditions. The essays describe how each commission has added local perspectives to global debates over economic development and brought an authentic regional voice to the UN. Contributors are Adebayo Adedeji, Yves Berthelot, Leelananda de Silva, Blandine Destremau, Paul Rayment, and Gert Rosenthal.
Networked Publics and Digital Contention
This book brings into focus the relationship between Internet development, youth activism, cyber resistance, and political participation. Taking Tunisia as a case study, it examines the digital culture of contention that developed in an authoritarian context, providing a unique perspective on how networked Arab publics negotiate agency, reconfigure political action, and reimagine citizenship.
The People Want
The sponsoring of the Muslim Brotherhood by the Emirate of Qatar and its influential satellite channel, Al Jazeera, contributed to shaping the prelude to the uprising. But the explosion's deep roots, asserts Achcar, mean that what happened until now is but the beginning of a revolutionary process likely to extend for many more years to come. The author identifies the actors and dynamics of the revolutionary process: the role of various social and political movements, the emergence of young actors making intensive use of new information and communication technologies, and the nature of power elites and existing state apparatuses that determine different conditions for regime overthrow in each case. Drawing a balance-sheet of the uprising in the countries that have been most affected by it until now, i.e. Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Libya and Syria, Achcar sheds special light on the nature and role of the movements that use Islam as a political banner.
Palestinians Born in Exile
In the decade following the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords, some 100,000 diasporic Palestinians returned to the West Bank and Gaza. Among them were children and young adults who were born in exile and whose sense of Palestinian identity was shaped not by lived experience but rather through the transmission and re-creation of memories, images, and history. As a result, "returning" to the homeland that had never actually been their home presented challenges and disappointments for these young Palestinians, who found their lifeways and values sometimes at odds with those of their new neighbors in the West Bank and Gaza. This original ethnography records the experiences of Palestinians born in exile wh...
